Nope. There's not many things that compare to the pleasure of grilling a good chunk of raw, bloody meat. All it needs is a little salt and the natural juices do the rest.
Vegetarians are allowed to watch, but not taste.

Food with strong, demarked flavours needs also strong, demarked wine. This is why red is a better choice for meat (and particularly for red meat) and also cheeses. If you drink white with a good grilled and bloody steak, it tastes too bland in comparison.
Conversely, red wine with (most) fish will actually be too strong and make the taste of fish seem bland in comparison. This is why a more delicate and soft white accompanies such foods better.
It's not just following the bandwagon...There is a logic underneath it.
